WHAT IS NEUROGRAPHIC ART?

I've always been convinced that I have no artistic ability whatsoever, but now that I have more time, I'm on a journey to discover whether there may be kernels of creativity hiding inside me that are just waiting for the opportunity emerge. If you follow my Cresting the Hill Facebook page, I've been sharing what I've been doing since I stumbled across Neurographic art recently. It caught my eye and my imagination because it's an art form that just flows, and it reminded me of images of brain neurones combined with pretty colours. I was itching to explore more about it....

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PAINT BY NUMBERS

WINTER DOWN UNDER

While the rest of the world is basking in Summer, it's the middle of Winter down here in the Southern Hemisphere and apparently it was time to take on a new project. My friend Julie has been knitting throw rugs for her family for the last couple of years and finally convinced me to start one of my own. Now, for those who know me as the AntiCraft you will realize that this was no small undertaking on my part. 

So, with that in mind I thought I'd do a quick update on what I've been filling my time with in between blogging, Facebooking, Pinteresting, working, and reading (it's nice to have a bit of variety)......
